Shoe Drama

How many bloggers could write about shoe laces and get a comment response? Oh, I have set myself up for failure. I ripped the broken lace out and threaded the new lace exactly like the non broken lace. If you look closely at the photo you can see that I missed the bottom holes. I should have put my specs on. Second try and I got all eye holes but the new lace did not match the old one. I complained to R and he was sympathetic. I tried again and again got it wrong. Please, how hard is it to put in new laces?

As wrong as my laces now were, I decided no one really looks at my feet and they have stayed wrong.

Oh, but the sheet. I bought a new one. A black fitted sheet at Myer post christmas sale, so much better value than Target. I bought new pillows too. I hate them, but I have grown accustomed to them. I did not put the new sheet straight on my bed as I had recently washed my bedding. I will put it on next change of bedding. My bed is queen sized, how appropriate. I will go to my grave wondering how I ended up with King Size Single Bed Black Fitted Bed Sheet. I even had R with me to supervise my purchases.

Myer may not sell things for the cheapest price, although at half price they would be hard to beat, but there no problem with exchanges. I got the last one of the correct size and still at half price.

Laces are a challenge. That one on the left looks like a strand of leather - very tough on the hands. I like the one on the left, but the lengths are such a challenge nowadays. - 100 cms or longer, pls.

I have to wear shoes that come over my ankles, so Converse is one of the brands that is suitable. However, the colours are good but the laces invariable are white. Boring. I go around looking for those stands with a myriad of colours and try to match the most garish that I can find.

I don't usually have trouble with laces breaking, but I do take one out when I have new shoes and measure it, so I know what length to buy the new laces if one should break.How can you get the threading wrong? How is that possible?

Re the sheets Fen, I think that is what happened. I too take great care when buying shampoo and conditioner. Funny that while I don't actually believe in hair conditioner, when I bought combined shampoo conditioner, it didn't work as well as normal conditioner.

My public diary, not my private one. I live in a highrise apartment building in inner Melbourne. My interests are varied but top of the list are old buildings, history and public transport. You will find plenty of personal experiences to read in my blog too. Just be aware I am not an historian, amateur or otherwise. While I make some effort to be accurate, I don't do proper methodical research so I advise you check all details on your own behalf should you wish to quote me. Your comments are very welcome, but try to be nice to my fragile yet overblown ego. I enjoy receiving email. You can find my eddress in my complete profile.
